Although South Africa has often played an important role in a number of pressing human rights issues, its engagement with international human rights law is a cause for concern.
This is according to former United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights Judge Navi Pillay who delivered the 15th Annual Human Rights Lecture at the Faculty of Law at Stellenbosch University (SU) on Thursday (20 May 2021). The lecture, which was presented virtually, formed part of the Law Faculty's Centenary celebrations and was organised by the HF Oppenheimer Chair in Human Rights Law at SU, Prof Sandy Liebenberg, together with the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof Nicola Smit.
